What does Hero (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, while very few choose summer. It leans towards evening, leisure and daily wear, and also suits a night out.

The opening pairs the spicy bite of cardamom with the lively citrus of mandarin orange. In the heart, iris and lavender add a floral, powdery tone. In the base, vanilla sweetens the scent and gives it a creamy warmth, while cedarwood supplies a woody frame. Maison Alhambra Le Noir and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Le Parfum have a close profile.
